This is hilarious. I guess the Romney campaign is trying to think outside of the box by raising the expectations for Romney with Christie saying that Romney would reset his campaign (again) with the first debate by laying out his agenda and the Romney campaign bragging about how they have been spending months on end in debate preparation. The NY Times notes their focus on "zingers." I guess it will be a major disappointment for the Romney camp if Romney does not reduce the live audience to tears and President Obama does not offer his resignation in disgust following the first debate.

Afterall, while most candidates spend the week following their convention holding rallies to magnify their post-convention bump, Romney holed up in his compound in New Hampshire away from the press to focus on debate preparation. Given Romney's two Harvard degrees and the millions invested in his campaign, anything less than a complete turnaround would be a major disappointment for Republicans.

10. No need to remind me,

there's plenty of those folk in my neck of the woods. Regardless, this whole campaign is devoid of facts, figures, and truths. What does EITHER candidate truly plan to do to Social Security and Medicare? The ongoing wars? The Wall Street criminals? ...and the list goes on.

When will America ever have a REAL choice in an election? Somebody in the running that's NOT 100% Wall Street Approved. Somebody that see's the need to engage in grown up discussions about what they would do as President, leaving the childish banter behind.

14. I'm not so sure it's a "delusional" narrative, but

since you appear to be "in the know", please delineate EXACTLY what changes to Social Security and Medicare Obama would agree to for us delusional masses who are unable to decipher such information from the plethora of "facts, figures and truths" being put forth. Thank you.

20. Sounds like the False Equivalency Narrative to me...

The House GOP did actually vote to turn Medicare into voucher care and Ryan has pushed for privitizing social security. Also, Romney is getting millions of dollars of support from Sheldon Adelson, who is also one of Netenyahu's primary backers. Romney is promising to repeal Health Care Reform, Financial Reform and cut taxes by 20 percent without disclosing what he would cut.

So, are you seriously going to insist that DUers make the case for you that there is a difference between President Obama and Romney?
